JOHN 0. LOVE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR .TO

HIMSELF AND SILAS FULLER, OF SAME PLACE.

Letters Patent No. 93,101, dated July 27, 1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN 0. LOVE, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, haveinvented an. Attachment for Gas- Buruers; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention consists of a device, described here after, to be attachedto ordinary gas-burners, so as to enable me to use in connectiontherewith an ordinary cylindrical chimney, such as are applied toargandburners.

In order to enable others to make and apply my invention, I will nowproceed to describe the mode of carrying the same into effect, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of thisspecification, and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of myattachment applied to a gas-burner;

Figure 2, the same removed from theburne'r; and

Figure 3, a plan view- Similar letters refer to similar parts throughoutthe several views. I

A is an ordinary gas-tip, screwed to the end of a pipe, B, in the usualmanner.

To the tip or the pipe is securedthe chimney-holder, which' consists ofa perforated casing, D, of the form of an inverted cone, an outercasing, E, in the present instance of a cylindrical shape, being securedto the upper end of the perforated casing, or forming part of the same,and the casing E terminating below in a flange, a, on which the chimneyG rests, the chimney being steadied in its place by any suitable numberof springs, e.

There is a space between the two casings D and E, the said space beingopen below and closed above, with the exception of two openings, 2: x,which are situated opposite to each other, and are so arranged that theyshallbe adjacent to the edges of the usual wide-spreading flame.

Although the above-described chimney-holder may be connected to the tipor to the pipe in a variety of ways, I prefer the plan illustrated in.the drawing, on reference to which it will be observed that there is aninternal flange at the lower end of the inner casing D.

This flange rests on the collar f of the pipe B, and is confined theretoby the lower end of the tip.

By this arrangement not; only are all complex fastenings dispensed with,but the holder can be readily turned and adjusted to such a positionthat its openings, a; x, are adjacent to the edges of the flame.

A plentiful supply of air is admitted to the interior of the chimneythrough the perforations of the casing I I), and also through openings yy in the flange a, but

special currents of" air pass through the openings :1: x, I Y

and protect the chimney from the effects of the projecting edges of theflame, thus enabling me to use a cylindrical chimney, or a chimneycylindrical helow and tapering above, as shown in the drawing.

I claim as'my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Thewithin-described holder, consisting of the perfor-ated casing D, outerflanged casing E, and openings 90 a, between the casings, when the wholeis combined with an ordinary gas-burner, substantially in the mannerdescribed.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses. I I

JOHN 0. LOVE.
